Short Project Description

Our projects focus on how different communication strategies influence people's risk perceptions, decisions, and opinions in different domains. Studies coming out of our lab add to our understanding of how people make judgments and decisions under risk and may have practical implications in the real world. Undergrads working as research assistants in our lab get to witness first-hand how research is conducted from the early phases of designing experiments to answer research questions to the final phases of presenting data to an audience. Research assistants are mostly involved in data collection, data entry, and assisting graduate students in data analyses. Higher level research assistants who are motivated are granted opportunities to take on more responsibilities that might culminate in an independent project. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
